Remember Dr. Krazy who I mentioned a few times?

Well, the shit finally hit the fan.

Here's the short version:
I notified my school about his abusive behavior toward me and toward his staff. I was quickly pulled off the rotation and reassigned to a different doctor in the same specialty. An investigation soon began and I was asked to give an official statement about my experiences with Dr. Krazy.

Shortly after, members of his office staff were also called up to administration and asked to give statements on their experiences with him.

At this point, I began to feel terrible. While I was relieved to be off that rotation, his staff was taking even more abuse as he became suspicious that the administration was out for him. Monday was the day that staff members were called to give statements.

Tuesday he abruptly resigned. Nobody knows the details. He had a full day of patients scheduled and he planned to see them, as well as have office hours for the rest of the week. Early in the day, he was called away for an "emergency". Shortly after noon, we were informed that he resigned. Within an hour, the door codes were changed and his name was removed from the building before the next day.

There seems to be a mixed reaction at the hospital. It has created quite a bit of turmoil because now there isn't anyone to do certain medical tests. This creates a huge compliance issue for the hospital, not to mention financial difficulties.

I feel terrible. His remaining staff now are fearful for their jobs. They worry that if another doctor isn't found soon,, they will be out of a job. I don't really see this happening, but it is a very real fear for them. One of the nurses from his office won't even look at me now. On the other hand, his PA is smiling brightly. The nursing supervisor at the hospital gave me a hug and thanked me the day this all happened.

I feel a little like Norma Rae, but less sweaty and without a kerchief tied to my head.

I also feel like I created a disaster. I feel like this is all my fault. I really just wanted to get myself out of a bad situation, and if I was able to help other people not be abused at work then all the better. But now it seems that isn't what anyone wanted.
